AETHER VS. ULTRA
Who: The Aether Foundation, the Ultra Beasts, and YOU!
Where: Aether Headquarters on the Sevii Islands.
When: October 30th-31st, immediately after the Emergency News Bulletin
Summary: Showdown at the Aether HQ! The Ultra Beasts have found what they were looking for...
Rating: PG for action violence.
Log:
If there's one thing that can be said about several weeks straight of chaos, it's made the general response-time of rescue teams and emergency services across Johto and Kanto alike extremely quick. Within moments of the urgent news bulletin regarding the Aether HQ going live, relief efforts start taking off from every feasible point. With volunteers eager towatch the Aether Foundation go down in flames help any way they can hopping on board with the rescue forces, aid is coming, and fast.
... But not as fast as them.
At the exact moment of the broadcast, almost as though heralded by some unknown frequency, every Ultra Beast in land, sea, or sky drops whatever they're doing and turns their heads (or... headlike appendages, in most cases) to the south. And then they'll take off, pausing ONLY if they happen to have befriended a human or two over the weeks. These ones will gesture-- beckoning, dancing, even dabbing (because you KNOW at least one person taught one to dab)-- anything at all that they may have picked up throughout the month in order to communicate with the "aliens" they've met in this world.
Wherever they're headed, they want their strange allies to come with them.
And, if their invitation is accepted, they will sweep a trainer or two right off their feet and shoot off for the Sevii Islands.
_______
The temporary Aether Foundation HQ, a rather advanced building considering it went up in a matter of weeks after they first arrived that year-and-a-half-or-so ago, sits on the water's edge with its floating Pokemon sanctuary (which many consider to be the Foundation's crown jewel) neatly attached.
It's normally a pretty peaceful place, with volunteers coming and going as they please. While no small amount of property damage and general chaos has gone down on the mainland over the course of October, at no point had the marauding Beasts launched a concentrated, or indeed deliberate-seeming, attack against any one location at all.
This is clearly no longer the case.
An explosion sends billowing smoke (and a fancy white golf-cart) high into the air above the palm trees surrounding the building. Local islanders and wild Pokemon spill onto the beach to escape what has seemingly become an all-out warzone between Aether agents and Ultra Beasts of all shapes and sizes...
But while there is definitely fighting going on, taking a closer look will tell anyone that the Beasts are focused mainly on the building... and not just destroying it, either. The battering they're delivering seems to be with the intent to find a way inside, only stopping to attack humans and Pokemon who try to get in the way.
But why?
What's in there?
Whatever it is... those Aether agents who haven't already fled aren't keen to let anyone, human or Ultra Beast, too close!

It appears your eyes aren't the only sore part of you. [ She dusts him off gently, but the effort is futile. The plaster dust leaves smears of white all over his clothes and his skin. ] Your arm... is it damaged?
[ Without waiting for confirmation (because he'll insist he's fine, she's sure, in spite of the way he's favoring his arm), she shrugs out of the long jacket that was part of the ensemble she received on her first day, reaching around Shiro to begin tying it into a makeshift sling. ]
no subject
[But hey, at least his color scheme is going to match.]
I -- I think it's fine. Maybe sore--
[And there she goes. There she goes and he doesn't have the heart to stop her. He stays put, letting Allura wrap him up in her coat.] Thank you.
no subject
I'm fine, given our situation. Blaytz and Klaizap aren't strong enough yet to take on the more powerful challengers, but we're assisting as best we can.
[ Once his arm is secure and she's double checked her knots, she smiles up at him and squeezes his (uninjured) shoulder. ]
Can you continue onward? It doesn't seem like we're quite finished here yet.
no subject
Do you want to work with one of mine? They'll listen to you if I ask them to.
[Kuro is the most likely, but on the other hand, Kuro probably won't want to leave his trainer.]
Yeah, I'm good. We need to get to the bottom of this.
no subject
[ She's learned how trainers build their teams around strategies that use the strengths of each member to build each other up. In a situation this uncertain, is it really wise for him to loan out one of his pokemon when he could very well need them all? ]
My pair are holding up for what I need them to do. I couldn't ask that of you, Shiro--I'm not strong enough as a trainer to command them.
no subject
[But their trainer just got squished in a shower of falling doorway debris. He's a disaster they all know well enough by now.]
If you're sure then -- maybe we go forward together instead. That way you won't have to command anyone.
[And he'll still be here to support her.]
no subject
All right, then. Forward, together. Come on, you two.
[ She gestures for her pokemon and they follow along, trailing after the Ultra Beasts as they continue to rampage. Allura keeps an eye out for any dangers, including but not limited to unstable architecture. ]
no subject
Red! Blue! Come on. We're moving out.
[Blue lowers his Gallade arms from where he was throwing up a Protect shield. Shiro's Incineroar bounds up, too, flexing as she goes. Yes, he named them after the Lions.]
[But they're ready too.]
